Thanks GMan, I was already looking for the let my eyes be the guide as that
is how it should be. And as you mentioned, if not set to native, 5ms is fast
so if I plan to watch a movie it's just a few clicks to set the rez back to
native. I wasn't too sure about ClearType, just a few googles on LCD
settings and it popped up. I'm not sure what resolution I will drop down to,
I think you set your's at something x 900...I will try different resolutions
and different apps. As for the group, you and the others are an awesome
group.....much help indeed..
